Type-0/Agito Localization May Still Happen

September 17th, 2013 by Tony Garsow

Recently announced for iOS and Android mobile devices, Final Fantasy Agito brings the world of Orience to handheld phones. A prequel to Final Fantasy Type-0, players will return to the Suzaku Peristylium and meet Class Zero before the events of the PSP title. Hajime Tabata, director of Type-0 and producer of Agito, talked with USgamer about a topic important to many overseas fans of the game: localization.

While no official announcement was made, Tabata said that Agito would “definitely be localized”, and that he would like to offer Type-0 through the PlayStation Network presumably as a digital download. Square Enix is still in the final stages of a decision, and Tabata noted that strong demand from Western fans has kept it on the table.

An official localization on the original Type-0 was underway about two years ago, including a voice cast recording dialogue for the game. However, the realities of the shift in portable gaming likely caused Square Enix to hold off on distributing the title nearly two years ago now. However, it still seems there’s a chance some sort of official localization my still happen.

Final Fantasy Agito will be present at Tokyo Game Show later this week. USgamer’s preface to a full interview tomorrow can be read here. You can read more about Final Fantasy Agitohere.

I suppose there’s no hint if the “digital download” would be for both PSP and PSV.
